That explains a bit. Mine were used on new graphic arts cameras.

I used thousands of socket head capscrews, and many hundred button heads, in my business. Never had much problems with them stripping out. (Everything from 6-32bh to 1/2-13 capscrews.) I did round out a few of the smaller Allen keys. I think the,bolts, even button heads were harder.

Yes, but what about French Fries?

So it wasn't bad enough that they developed another bolt style for no good reason except to sell tools, they had to develop ANOTHER version of the same unneeded bolts, to sell EVEN MORE tools? What can torx do that Allen's cant?

No disrespect intended at all, but when you say Mongo, I think Alex Karras. RIP Steve.

Grind the end square again, BINGO! New Allen socket.

Why, and HOW, is this bs better than an allen?

Yeah, the narrowed nine is something you probably should have mentioned, lol. Once a rear is narrowed, "normal" does not apply. (My narrowed nines are under 40" disc face to disc face, and not in the muddle of the tub, lol)

Replace the f#@king torx with something else (i HATE torx. Just a device to make mechanics buy more tools!)

You can get away with a too-big carb, or a dp, easier with a car with a stick, or a stiff rear gear. And having a light car certainly helps too. I run an 850 dp on a small block..... but I have 4.57s, a 5000 torque converter, and 2300 lbs. If you are gonna try a double pumper, I would...

"Double pumper" refers to a holley style carb (LOTS of companies make em now) with mechanical secondaries, and an accelerator pump on both bowls. (NOT merely a dual inlet carb). Slightly more of a race-style carb than a vacuum secondary version. There are tuning options galore for vacuum carbs...

I have used 800-850 double pumpers on all my "fast cars" for years. Even ones with auto trans. But mine have around 500 hp, 3.91, 4.10, or 4.57 gear, 5000 converters, and mileage means nothing. You could experiment with a 750dp, but I think you'll be happier with what you have now.

An inch from tire to spring? Way plenty! I have under a half inch on mine, never rubs.

Gotta agree. Some colors need a lot of contrast. Kinda like purple needs some white stripes or vinyl top to set it off.

I tried an eraser wheel on my (gaw doffel) stick on flames. Didn't do richard.

Earl Schieb used to......

I'd sure give another shot of clear over what you have, before I'd consider a full repaint. Buy the best clear you can afford. Nothing is cheap anymore. (I've seen clear coat fixes on you tube. Seems feasible)

A 60 Edsel wagon? They must have made four or five of them....... In 58 Edsel had about 400 interior/exterior color combos. By 1960, there was about twelve. Fun fact. There were more '69 A12s built than the total run of '60 Edsels.

275 okay for 7.5-9.5 rim. So you're good in that sense. I'd rather see a bit more backspace (4.5?) but you should be okay with the huge wheelwells your runner's got.

How about we rephrase? What car would you buy that costs about what your house is worth..... if you had the money? For me?.... nothing. But when I sell one of my Cali houses, I'm looking for a Trackhawk. Fast and practical.
